HI

When doing construction plane we usually planning over the design we receive from the architect. I usually copy all objects I need and paste them in my drawing, and continue working from there.

With this method I get lots of mess, styles, layers and such are mixing together and no way to trace them down.

The smart alternative is to use xref, but the drawback (as far as I know) is that I cant copy the objects I need, so I have to go to the original drawing , copy and go back the my drawing….its not so productive.

Is there a way to copy objects from an xref(like it wasn’t xref?)?


Thanks

Shay

You cad do it form xref. Just use command Copy Nested Object from Express Tools.
